| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} X 453a (13) Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}5/KW.7.3.35. 5-B-IV. We have broken one of the lightened front road springs on the bump. We shall therefore have to fit standard front road springs to 5-B-IV. We are following on with some intermediate front springs, but it is doubtful whether these will be ready before the car goes away.
